Nintendo of America announced that the upcoming Wii U version of Smash Bros. will be playable with GameCube controllers. It looks like Nintendo will be releasing The GameCube Controller Adapter for Wii U which is a USB to 4 GameCube controller ports adapter.

The adapter looks pretty cool, but... Going back two generations just to appease the Nin10yearolds? What's wrong with the Wii U Pro Controllers? That, and I hope this will be supported by more than this one game, a system update that'll cover compatibility would be nice. I'd say that "Gamecube backwards compatibility" would be nice at this point since there's nothing standing in the way of that hardware-wise, but they botched the drive and it doesn't accept Gamecube discs so we might as well forget about that.

This is pretty much my view on this, but as a competitive melee player it offers a consistent controller for Melee, Brawl, and now this. Plus it's a full wired connection which is always nice to rid input lag and prevent wireless interference.

The Wii U sure has a ton fuck of controller options now, which is pretty great.
